## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.52.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected source supports a first-party agent extension lifecycle warning because explicit plugin installation can enable future automatic updates. It does not establish block-eligible malicious behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Explicit CLI commands install first-party agent plugins. Claude setup also enables future marketplace updates by default; no confirmed malicious attack was established.

- **Trigger:** Running tsuga install plugin claude-code or tsuga install plugin codex.

- **Impact:** Adds agent capabilities and permits later automatic marketplace updates, creating an extension lifecycle risk.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T08:58:14.969Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Invokes the agent CLI to install the Tsuga marketplace and plugin, and optionally backs up and patches Claude settings with autoUpdate enabled.

- **Rationale:** The inspected source supports a first-party agent extension lifecycle warning because explicit plugin installation can enable future automatic updates. It does not establish block-eligible malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Explicit plugin commands install Tsuga agent integrations from tsuga-dev/agent-plugins., Claude setup writes the Tsuga marketplace preference to ~/.claude/settings.json and enables future automatic updates., The Claude command defaults automatic updates to enabled; --no-auto-update skips the settings mutation., Codex setup invokes marketplace and plugin installation commands.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency., Plugin setup is activated by explicit CLI commands; no separate consent prompt appears in the inspected setup path., The inspected API destination validation restricts credentials to approved Tsuga hosts or localhost.
